Full reviewBritish rom-com from the writer of Borat (making his directorial debut) looking at the rocky first year of marriage for a pair of newlyweds. Stars Stephen Merchant, Minnie Driver, Rose Byrne and Anna Faris.
Since they met at a party, ambitious high-flyer Nat (Byrne) and struggling novelist Josh (Rafe Spall) have been deliriously happy despite their differences. Impulsively getting hitched after only a few months together, their family, friends and even the minister who marries them aren't convinced that they can last. When the reality of married life begins to wither their relationship, Josh's ex-girlfriend, Chloe (Faris), and Nat's handsome American client Guy (Simon Baker), offer attractive alternatives as their first anniversary approaches...
